School teachers from alabama? what insurance did you use?

Just curious to know what (if any) insurance do you use? Have you been sleeved? What kind of coverage have you experienced? I'm a school teacher with BCBS peehip. Just now submitted my request. Wish me luck - say a big prayer!

Good luck. I was just sleeved on Monday; three days out now. From the day my surgery scheduler submitted my paperwork to United Health Care until the date of my approval was only 5 days; (two of those were weekend days). I called my insurance company every day to see if there was any progress however. I was very villigant. I was told that most people a United Healthcare claim takes an average of 15 business days. I know that my constant calling expidited things.

That's great news that you got approved quickly. I have read about so many horror stories of rejection & long wait times! I hope you do great & it's everything I know it can be! I am hoping I'm right behind you!
